Introduction
1. Standard Overview
GB/T 33714-2017 "Nanotechnology - Nanoparticle Size Measurement - Atomic Force Microscopy" is a national standard of the People's Republic of China. It mainly specifies the method of characterizing the size of nanoparticles by measuring the height of nanoparticles using an atomic force microscope (AFM). This standard is applicable to the measurement of nanoparticles dispersed on a flat substrate surface.
2. Comparison of standard frameworks
| Standard dimensions | GB/T 33714—2017 | ISO 18115-2 | ASTM E2859-11 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical requirements | Detailed provisions of AFM measurement methods and uncertainty assessment | Focus on the definition of scanning probe microscopy terms | Focus on the statistical analysis of nanoparticle size |
| Scope of application | Nanoparticles dispersed on the surface of a flat substrate | General scanning probe microscopy terms | Nanoparticles in powders and suspensions |
| Core Instruments | Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) | Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM) | Various Particle Size Analysis Instruments |
3. Implementation Suggestions
3.1 Sample Preparation and Pretreatment
In actual operation, it is recommended to use the nanoparticle deposition method in Appendix A. The specific steps include:
- Cleavage and modification of mica substrate (such as PLL solution treatment)
- Cleaning and functionalization of silicon wafer (such as APDMES treatment)
- Dilution and centrifugal separation of gold nanoparticles
3.2 Optimization of AFM Measurement Conditions
Select an appropriate scanning range and resolution according to the particle size. For example:
- 10nm particles: scanning range 0.5μm×0.5μm, number of pixels ≥512
- 60nm particles: scanning range 2.0μm×2.0μm, scanning rate 1Hz
3.3 Data Analysis and Uncertainty Assessment
Refer to the uncertainty assessment method in Appendix C to ensure the accuracy and traceability of the measurement results. Recommendations:
- Regularly calibrate the height measurement benchmark of the AFM (such as Si step reference material)
- Use commercial software to automate particle analysis and compare with manual measurement results
